2# The Desire Saga - Between Duty and Desire
Tara Malhotra has built her life around bringing joy into the world. As a dedicated OB/GYN, she delivers not just babies, but hope and comfort, lighting every room with her compassion. But behind her warm smile lies a wound she has never fully healed-a night that almost shattered her, a betrayal that left her ashamed of her own body. Blamed instead of protected by her parents, Tara learned to carry her pain quietly, even as she refused to stop believing in love. Her laughter hides the cracks, her kindness masks her longing, but her heart still beats for a love that sees all of her and chooses her anyway.
Ajay Singham is a man shaped by steel and shadows. As the eldest son of the Singham dynasty and Commissioner of Police, his life has been built on sacrifice. Trained from childhood to put duty above desire, Ajay hardened himself against weakness-against love. Years ago, he gave his heart completely to a woman who betrayed him, leaving behind a scar that runs deeper than any physical wound. Now, he commands with power and precision, his emotions locked away behind walls taller than skyscrapers. To him, vulnerability is danger, and love is the ultimate liability.
Will Tara's faith in love be strong enough to thaw Ajay's frozen heart?
Can Ajay allow himself to choose desire over duty without losing everything he's sworn to protect?
Or will their pasts drag them under, leaving behind only regret and what-ifs?
Between Duty and Desire is a story of fire and fracture, of two souls scarred by betrayal learning to trust again. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers tension, emotionally scarred heroes, and love stories where vulnerability becomes the bravest act of all.

BETWEEN UNIFORMS AND HEARTBEATS
She became a doctor to save lives. He became a soldier to protect them. When Dr. Nitya Sharma sets off on a long-awaited trip to Kashmir, the last thing she expects is to end up in the middle of a terrorist attack-let alone saving five children and crossing paths with the one man she thought she'd never see again. Captain Abhay Malhotra. Her childhood crush. Her heartbreak. Her what-could-have-been. Seven years ago, one misunderstanding tore them apart. Now, fate throws them back together-this time with guns, blood, and secrets between them. As they return to AFMC Pune, tangled in memories and military duty, sparks reignite amidst teasing, tension, and the quiet question neither of them dares to ask: What if it was never too late? In a world of loyalty, sacrifice, and shifting missions, can love survive the line between uniforms and heartbeats? "One battlefield brought them together. Seven years of silence tore them apart. Now, a rescue mission might just give them a second chance- between uniforms and heartbeats." Author's note - Currently writing extra chapters 💖👀Concluída

In his light , she blooms
Anaya Sharma is brilliance wrapped in silence. At just twenty-seven, she's a celebrated surgeon-admired for her flawless skills and feared for her icy demeanor. To many, she is arrogant. Untouchable. But what they don't see is the price she pays to save lives-sometimes even at the cost of her own. Arjun Rathore is the sun to her storm. A charming, sharp-witted criminal and constitutional lawyer, Arjun's presence in a courtroom is unstoppable. No one dares challenge the man whose words bend justice and who never bows to power, especially political corruption. But even his influence falters when the system he fights turns its back on his greatest weakness-his sister. When Aarushi Rathore becomes the victim of a politically fueled accident, no hospital is willing to treat her. Doors close. Fear spreads. Hope begins to fade. Until Anaya steps forward. Knowing the consequences, she chooses courage over comfort. Defying the very system that protects her, she risks her career-and her life-to save Aarushi. Her selfless act plants the first seed of admiration in Arjun's heart. As Aarushi heals, so does something else. Arjun begins to break through Anaya's carefully built walls, slowly melting the ice around her heart. In late-night checkups, courtroom battles, and whispered confessions, their bond deepens. What starts as respect becomes warmth, and warmth becomes something neither of them expected-love. But in a world where power silences truth, their love is a rebellion. Together, they must face threats, political enemies, and the ghosts of their pasts. Because some love stories aren't written in peace. They're written in courage, fire, and quiet defiance. "She saves lives with a scalpel. He protects truth with words. And together-they dare to love in a world that punishes the brave."
She became a doctor to save lives. He became a soldier to protect them. When Dr. Nitya Sharma sets off on a long-awaited trip to Kashmir, the last thing she expects is to end up in the middle of a terrorist attack-let alone saving five children and crossing paths with the one man she thought she'd never see again.
